Jefferson Airplane was front and center as the San Francisco music scene, and the countercultural upheaval it represented to the outside world, unfolded. For some time, they were the most popular band in America, and their impact remains extraordinarily high today. With their alternative lifestyle and confrontational, anti-war stance, the group became icons of young American culture in the turbulent late 1960s. The band’s hypnotic and fiery songs, along with legendary lead singer Grace Slick’s provocative persona and voice, have cast a spell over American popular music and culture…a spell that is yet to be broken.
